THE BEECHER FUNERAL.
The Arrangements Nearly All Completed
for the Ceremony.


for the Ceremony.
NEW YORK, March 9.-The arrange
ments for the funeral of the late Henry
Ward Beecher are almost completed.
The private services at the house will be
conducted by DR.. c. Fl. Hall, Of the
Church Of the Trinity, the old friend OF
the famous preacher.
The bsdy will be escorted to Plymouth
church by the Thirteenth regiment OF
Brooklyn, of which Mr.. Beecher was
chaplain. The regiment will then file
past the body, which will be laid in front
of the platform, after which it will be
dismissed, leaving Company G, known as
the Plymouth Company, and composed
chiefly of members of Mr.. Beecher's con-
gregation, to remain on guard while the
body lies in the church.
The church will remain open all day on
Thursday, and the friends and members
of the congregation will have the first
privilege Of passing before the body.
Friday the church will be thrown open
to the public.
The citizens committee, Of which ex-
Mayor Low is chairman, will have charge
of the body until the interment on Sat
urdsy at Greenwood cemetery.
The coffin will be a very plain one,
covered with broadcloth, with plain sill
yer mountings. There is to be no orna-
mentation except plain silk fringe.
On Thursday none but those having
tickets wilr be admitted to the church.
The tickets will be given to pew-holders
and others entitled to them. Each pew
holds five persons and only four tickets
will be given to the holders, the
other ticket being reserved for visiting
members of the G.. A. II. posts, privileged
persons and personal friends. 1t was
expected that an overflow service would
be held in the Academy of Music, but
that building could not be obtained, as it
was engaged by the Philharmonic Society.

OUR GRIEVANCE.
What We Want and Must Have
Very Soon is Justice" \

For The Enquirer.
"The workinemen have grievance.
We do not know exactly what 1t Is.
They cannot clearly express II. But 1t
exists."-Cbsuncy M. Depew
As one Of the ag:ieved l am anxious
that the public should know what it<js.,
and although not able 10 state Il In pol
ished language. can state plain facts.
Our frat grievance is that the workers
have been dsinherited and deprived OF
our share Of natures gifts which were
intended for every woman, man and
child alike as the means Of life, and
without which every man Is dependant
upon some other man or woman for the
means Of life: or my life is inthe hands
OF another man who at his will or ca
price can deprive me Of that life. These
pifts Of nature are land, water, air and
sunshine and right TO enjoy them.
The second grievance Is that the gov.
ernments Of earth have not onlv disin-
herited the workers. but have reduced
them to state OF dependence or slavery
BY the exploitation OF the fruit Of their
labor by rent. profit and interest,
thus placing the workers In the hands
Of the men who have disinherited them.
The third grievance is that our des-
poilers try 10 justify the robbery and
refuse 10 restore the ill-gotten gains
while the workers are In state Of actual
starvation and vagrancy, until such time
as the workers shall formulate and
plainly state plan Of deliverance, In
accord with the interest Of the robbers.
Our fourth grievance Is that according
TO the United States census for 1880,
there we're about %0000O 900 people In
the United States. and out Of this mum.
Der there we're only IS .0O0. 900 producers.
These had TO support ths 100000
idles and non.producers, while the
workers principally lived In novels and
tenement houses. clothed In rags and
ohen going hungry to ted. The non
producers lived In fine and costly man.
nons, clothed In purple and the finest Of
linen and living In luxury.
SO much for our grievances. Now we
ask our our despoilers to formulate the
remedy for all this. as things cannot re-.
main as they are. Should they not find
an honorable way cut Of the vortex,
then lot the ag9rieved workers call a
convention Of the workers at some cen.
trail place and proper time 70 formulate
aplan Of deliverance, and be prepared TO
enforce II with their own strong arms.
